  1. Just voicing my opinion. I'd actually love a tiny Scrappy Doo fig and another wave. However, regarding all the characters: the same can be said for TMNT. I mean we didn't even get Casey Jones for crying out loud! And most of the ones you listed are too obscure, really scraping the bottom of the barrel. You need to think of the everyday collector, just wanting the characters he or she loved for nostalgic purposes, not a bunch that the person can't even remember or appeared in 2 max. episodes. And for those reasons I honestly can't see Scooby Doo moving forward as a theme. (That said, i still need to get the Mystery Plane somewhere) You honestly hit the nail on the head.
  2. Hey man all we can do is keep on dreaming right? One day in the perfect world all the characters will live together in harmony in the form of Lego sets. :thumbup: Lol. I don't think everyone hates him rather than they are just tired of hearing about him. I prefer when he was only part of the movies, he was in a way, something to look forward to. The TV show made him a little too popular. I still like him though. But don't worry, we'll see how quickly everyone jumps on the bandwagon again if / when we get him one day
  3. Lol, I'm sure you and J2G know something about those huh?
  4. I'm sure there is much more to it to that. And no matter how much they could possibly sell you have to think that it amounts to very little as opposed to what they could be making. (Especially when they pay off Lego, Fox, and other service providers.)
  5. Lego plans far ahead, so sales, like a few people have said, may not correlate to another wave. Also, Chima is not a failure even in the slightest, although it is not my nor your cup of tea, it was very much loved by younger fans. Prince of Persia and Lone Ranger weren't failed themes either, very much loved due to their variety of parts, visually appealing builds, and surprisingly detailed figures. These themes were only hindered due to the low ratings of their movies. Lego indeed has a knack to make amazing sets out of horrendous movies. TMNT was beyond loved when it was announced and hit shelves, complete with great figures and iconic builds based on both the new and old TV series. It had great appeal due to to its collect-ability and nostalgia. There is much evidence that it would have continued to have been bought by fans had it not ended after 2 television based waves and one movie based wave. The movie wave, which was too hindered by a terribly rated film, had some very well detailed sets and figs. With all the love the theme had been given, being put on clearance is not a strong argument that it was a failure. Sets are bound to go on clearance at some point. But sadly TMNT suffered the same fate that I believe Scooby Doo will suffer, that once you get the full gang of main characters, there isn't much more to do. Well, maybe we huge Lego fans could find something to do, but not the average consumer. As for The Lego Movie and Friends, it is not fair to say that just because they started off strong and were massive money makers and are now being put on clearance that they weren't successful. That isn't why they are being phased out The reason is because TLM is now a year old and the hype for the sets and film has died down, and Friends has Seasonal waves meaning the sets you see on clearance are a few seasons old. They can't be taking up shelf space until the end of time, people have their chances to buy the sets they want. Friends was and still is a huge hit because it is female centric and acts as a gateway drug of sorts to a larger Lego world. It also offers great parts in different color varieties and other well crafted City related builds too. Some clearance is no reason to think its being dubbed a failure. Elves and Disney Princesses are well liked liked too but sales are not as large of that of Friends because, lets face it, Friends was the original theme and the source of bringing many more female fans to Lego. Elves has great parts and Disney Princesses has some truly iconic figs and builds (FROZEN!!!) and would have still been a mere thought in the heads of Lego designers had it not been for the Friends theme. And yes, there are not-so-popular sets in every theme, including Superheroes, Star Wars, and the like, but what of it? There are sure to be some sets like that, but that doesn't warrant the theme a failure by any means. Also, Disney theme example: Marvel Superheroes. There are Disney DUPLO sets too which have done well by DUPLO standards but no other true Minifig scale DIsney themes so I really don't see what that has to do with anything. So yeah, those are my 2 cents.
  6. Have you heard of this whole X-Men embargo? Marvel doesn't make as much money from X-Men merchandising as they do with their other characters so they kind of stopped all toy production from the team and its characters, so a Deadpool centric set is a huge no no. I actually think the only reason we got the Sentinel set last year was because of how far ahead Lego plans. Sorry to burst your bubble.
  7. They'd probably give him Dr. McScrubbs' hair from the Lego Movie Flying Flusher set. (aka Robin's hair in brown) He'd be really cool to get officially and could no doubt carry a set. (For AFOLs at least) Welcome to Eurobricks by the way.
  8. Beautiful! :thumbup:
  9. Ibrahimovic, half bosnian half croatian, with my roots hailing from croatia as well, I'd love a fig of him. … I'd actually love a whole Croatian team, but thats another story.
  10. I liked Coulson before it was cool. (Hipster) Agents of SHIELD sort of ruined him for me, but I wouldn't be against getting a fig.
  11. Only in Europe I'm assuming.
  12. Holiday vignettes (like the Valentine's and Easter sets) Halloween: Kid trick or treating, dressed as a witch, there's a stoop and a front door with a skeleton answering it. Thanksgiving: Restaurant scene - chef wheeling out a full turkey on a cart, pie underneath it, there's a table with a woman sitting at it ready to be served. Christmas 1: Kids building a snowman outside a snowy front porch Christmas 2: "Santa's Visit" fireplace, tree, presents Although these store exclusives are always great, these sound even better than promos for once.
  13. That looks really sick! I can't wait. It looks just as cool as swinging around the city as Spider-Man in the last game.
  14. For once the actual small purchasable Christmas sets/vignettes are better than the promos. I'm honestly really hyped up for the Snowman building on the porch and a cozy fireplace scene. :thumbup: Not to mention a trick-or-treating scene and Thanksgiving scene. No doubt to be filled with a plethora of great parts. Maybe in the Halloween scene, the new CMF 14 Skeleton's pumpkin shaped candy bucket will be used, if not, I can add it in. This is some really exciting news!!!
  15. Are we sure that this guy isn't just Just2Good with another account? I'm just messing around, we're all just eager. I think I can speak for us all when I say thank you, sincerely, to you and to everyone else, for giving us all this information. I hope we aren't too big of a bother.
  16. Most likely, I'm thinking the same thing. Can't wait! Also, is anyone else dissecting Just2Good's posts now for hidden messages?
  17. I'll take her either way with that SHIELD arm patch printing.
  18. His death scene was crazy. Got what he deserved I guess.
  19. Lol, I just realized that this new Iron Man we're getting won't have leg printing. Leo looked off without leg printing and I think so will Tony.
  20. Lol, this thread has put someone on edge.
  21. First kissyfur_ok's Jokerland MOC on Flickr and then Oky's Racers. There seems to be a mole in the Flickr community.
  22. The second one. The flat top.
